Re: LF: Re: The Lentus mode

Mal,

 

 

I will admit that I have my concerns occasionally about some of your pronouncements on certain issues... but in this instance, *to a degree*, I have to agree with your sentiments on this particular subject. While I see the need of and interest in *all* modes of communications, I also bemoan the subservience of the operator to the technology. I am a SWL'er, not being licensed (although looking at FCC Part 15 options maybe later), and my presence on this list is out of interest rather than actual active participation in transmission. As such, I have had my fair share of moments of straining my ears and fiddling with knobs to tune in the difficult DX-- and I guess that, as much as I respect the op with the skill to get a weak signal out great distances using the technology at hand, I have to say that the 'small-child fascination' is lost for me, along with some of the fun, when I think of some of these digital modes.

 

Of course, that's just me. Even so, I loudly applaud what the ops on this list have accomplished and will yet accomplish. Now excuse me, I have to get the tension adjusted in the string between my tin can and the one in the neighbor's bedroom  ;)

I said it was Fantastic!!!!! No negativity about that. Are you keen on Opera
??
There will soon be an individual digi MODE of some sort for every Operator
on the amateur bands strangely enough this will not be a problem because no
communications between operators is intended it is all one way BEACON mode.
Set your computer to display a blurr on a screen and report via Internet.
Go out dancing, shopping or go to bed but importantly keep out of the shack,
Operator not needed. This is definitely progress and a positive way forward
compared to the traditional method where the Operator was always present and
his/her skills were a necessity for a successful communications result.
A robot(JILES) mobile interface would be useful to report to the Operator so
the operator need never go near the shack.
Will the traditional Radio Amateur give way eventually to the Appliance
Operator/Robot ?? Thinking Positively I hope not

It is called true experimentation and what, arguably, our hobby is really
about. Don't be so negative always, please.
